For what it's worth, I have been told that it may be better not to use grill inserts on any of our P-cars.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Dear Friends: Does anyone know where to get black grill inserts for a stock front bumper for my 2000 996 ? I found some for a Boxter but not for my car. Thanks for any help. ex 1980 911SC, Anniversary Silver ex 1990 C2, Slate Grey present 2000 996 Arctic Silver

POST 2Original post

For what it's worth, I have been told that it may be better not to use grill inserts on any of our P-cars. Unless the grill inserts are easy to remove, the junk that bilds up behind the grill will cause more problems (e.g., overheating) than the grill will prevent (I have been told that damage to the radiators due to debris is rare on the non-Turbo models). The open grills makes it easier to maintain clean radiators. I have no information on where to get grills, and no personal experience with any of the issues described above. I just thought you might want to hear what I have been told. TD

POST 3Original post

I've found them in the Performance Product catalogs for 996

POST 4Original post

Cargraphics has them (this may be the same as Performance Products sells). There was a recent thread in the 997 forum debating the merits of these.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
